Lin has played in 51 games for the Hawks this season, averaging 10.7 points, 3.5 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game.

The Hawks waived Lin on Monday, and his move to Toronto, first reported by ESPN, had "Linsanity" trending on Twitter.

Jeremy Lin isn't a member of the Toronto Raptors just yet, but he's excited about his new opportunity.

Lin was enjoying a dazzling breakout season in NY in 2011-12 when he brought his "Linsanity" road show to Toronto, draining a three-point dagger at the buzzer to lift the Knicks 90-87 over the Raptors. They recently traded Delon Wright, one of their backup guards, in a deal that brought in Marc Gasol from the Grizzlies. Toronto could surely use Lin in the lineup, serving as the primary playmaker off the bench while Fred VanVleet is sidelined for at least the next three weeks with an injured thumb.

Jeremy Lin #7 of the Atlanta Hawks handles the ball against the Washington Wizards on February 4, 2019 at Capital One Arena in Washington, DC.

Lin has averaged 11.8 points in 457 career games. Adding Lin doesn't necessarily qualify as an attack of the buyout market, but there haven't been many getting done to this point. After Kyle Lowry made a three for Toronto, Allen Crabbe knocked down back-to-back threes to tie the game at 120 and two Joe Harris free throws put the Nets in the lead. Can he be a valuable player for the Raptors down the stretch?
